Those who can't afford to upgrade their computer every three years or so, should also consider spending their $14.95 per month more wisely.

Three years' worth of AH subscription is about $522... enough to buy a new computer that can better handle better graphics. You could also put $522 into a new tower instead, which will further improve your gaming options.

If Aces High had the same graphics as War Thunder while retaining its existing flight model/physics, that would be quite a sight to behold.

Seems many of you guys have such high expectations of War Thunder... after all, it is just a beta at this point.

Indeed. It's a dream...

Yea. That's something I don't get, people can afford to pay $15 on a video game per month but they can't afford to save up for a new PC? Some weird priorities.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I did not start this thread, and it certainly isn't a recruiting thread for WT, quite the opposite. That's why I'm trying to give some level-headed input to compensate for the ignorant and blatant fanboyism displayed by some here.

And do you really think it is financially responsible to spend $15 a month on games if you can't afford to upgrade a computer every three years or so? I certainly don't.

in most other games, you arent allowed to even mention or post about other competing games.  here even non players are allowed to post and be dicks about it.

and gscholz 500 bucks wont buy you a computer that can handle aces high.  that just tells you how wrong you are.  and one more thing, there's only a few guys like you who dont play who constantly whine about the graphics, while most of us who do are happy with the game.  you dont like it then by all means, go play war thunder.  if you arent happy here by all means we dont want to keep you here, please leave.

I didn't say you did but you certainly have gone full-bore 'fanboy of WT' here. This is AHII. It's a good thing
to be a fan of the game you play and enjoy. It's a good thing to support it. One of AHII's hallmarks happens
to be a game that is friendly to lower horsepower systems (that and it's a nice compact download with fast
patches). If you support a different game why not do it on their forum?

It's a rude thing to tell others their priorities are flawed or that they're 'financially irresponsible' when they don't
jump on the 'code me some eye goodies' band-wagon and are enjoying this game as it is.. Not to mention, you
don't have a clue how much it would cost or what it would take for AHII to 'look like WT.'

As I said, it comes off like someone who really doesn't have a clue about adult financial responsibility at all
(living with parents) telling grown-ups how to be fiscally responsible by focusing their finances on a gaming
computer.

Uhh..yea it will. Shiet, my Dell Optiplex ran AH out of the box without any problems, E7500 and onboard Intel G41, ran AH with shadows, bump map and enviromental mapping off smoothly. And that was 2 years ago.

$500 is plenty to upgrade a computer every three years. Note the word "upgrade". It is not synonymous with "buy new computer". My current gaming rig is from 2006. Over the years I've upgraded the memory, cpu, and last year I bought a new GFX card. I still run games at or close to their maximum settings.

Must be a language barrier thing, or reading comprehension. I'm clearly (or so I thought) advocating that no one should be "focusing their finances" on anything gaming related if they can't afford to upgrade a computer.

Those who can't afford to upgrade their computer every three years or so, should also consider spending their $14.95 per month more wisely.

No comprehension failure. AHII seldom requires such. It makes this hobby
affordable to those with other fiscal responsibilities.

AH is actually one of the more demanding games on my computer's resources. I can make educated guesses to the cause of this, but I think that's beyond the scope of this thread. Let's just say I get better frame rates in both WT and Il2 Clod on max settings.

I agree... up to a certain point. It's like nationalism... A little is good, too much is very bad.
